Breakfast was her favorite meal of the day, and she wanted it to be both healthy and tasty. She decided it would be a mix of freshly picked fruit and sweet, tender carrots, cooked to perfection. With her little basket in hand, BiBi set off toward the orchard.
The fruit trees were heavy with ripeness. She could smell the sweet aroma of mangoes and see the bright colors of guavas, bananas, and papayas peeking between the leaves. BiBi climbed skillfully, moving from branch to branch with the agility of an expert. She selected only the ripest pieces, checking each one carefully before placing it in her basket. Sometimes she paused to nibble on a slice of banana, smiling at the simple joy of fresh fruit.
Once the basket was filled, BiBi carried it back to her small outdoor kitchen. But the job wasn’t done yet — it was carrot time. She skipped over to the vegetable patch, where rows of leafy green tops signaled the treasures hidden underground. Kneeling down, she tugged gently at the stems, pulling up plump, orange carrots one by one. The earthy scent filled the air as she dusted off each carrot and added it to her collection.
Back at the kitchen, BiBi washed all her harvest carefully in a big wooden bowl. The fruits were set aside for later, while she turned her attention to cooking the carrots. She sliced them into even pieces, their bright orange color glowing in the morning light. She placed them in a small pot of water over a gentle fire, letting the steam soften them until they were sweet and tender.
While the carrots cooked, BiBi arranged the fruit on a large leaf plate — bananas in one corner, slices of mango in another, with guava and papaya filling the center. The colors looked like a painting, and BiBi couldn’t help but feel proud of her work. She drizzled a little honey over the fruit for extra flavor, remembering that breakfast should not only be nutritious but also a treat.
Soon, the smell of cooked carrots filled the air. BiBi drained them, placed them on a smaller plate, and sprinkled a pinch of fresh herbs she had grown nearby. The combination of the sweet fruit and warm, savory carrots made the perfect breakfast spread.
As she sat down to eat, BiBi felt the satisfaction of knowing she had gathered everything herself. She took small bites, enjoying the flavors and appreciating the effort it took to create such a meal. Her morning had been full of climbing, harvesting, cooking, and arranging — and every step had been worth it.
This wasn’t just breakfast; it was a reminder of how smart planning and a bit of hard work could turn an ordinary morning into something special. With her belly full and her heart happy, BiBi decided that tomorrow she might try something new — maybe a salad, or even carrot cakes. But for today, her simple feast of fruit and carrots was the perfect start to the day.
